Gary Harris Gets Out Of Shooting Slump Against Rockets
Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris was shooting under 30 percent from the field and from three over four games before Tuesday's loss to the Rockets, but Harris started to emerge from his cocoon, scoring 15 points on 6-for-13 shooting and hitting three of his six attempts from downtown. He had four steals as well. Harris […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoNikola Jokic Records Double-Double Against Rockets
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic scored 14 points on 6-for-14 shooting in Tuesday's loss to Houston. He also grabbed 12 rebounds and added in seven assists and a pair of steals. Jokic continues to have an effective season for fantasy owners, and should be in a good position for success on Thursday against a Hawks […]

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul scored 21 points on 7-for-12 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Denver Nuggets. He was 3-for-7 from three-point range and also dished out four assists while adding five rebounds and a pair of steals.

Houston Rockets forward James Ennis scored 16 points on 6-for-8 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Denver Nuggets. He also added four rebounds and a pair of blocks.

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela scored 24 points on 11-for-15 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Denver Nuggets. He also grabbed nine rebounds and added two assists and a block. It was Capela's third game of the year with 20 or more points, but he also was held to under 10 rebounds for the third […]

It took a while for Houston Rockets guard James Harden to get his scoring going in Tuesday's win over the Nuggets, but by the end of the night he'd put up another strong performance. Harden scored 22 points on 7-for-16 shooting and added a team-high 11 assists. Last season's MVP also grabbed five rebounds to […]

Houston Rockets forward P.J. Tucker scored 12 points on 4-for-8 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Denver Nuggets, with seven of those shot attempts coming from three-point range.

Justin Carter 6 years agoThe Tape Tells All - Marcus Mariota's Week 10 Performance
We're over halfway through the NFL season and I still haven't broken down any quarterbacks in this column. The reason? Yeah, I don't know. I guess no one really surprised me enough? But over the past two weeks, one quarterback has really come to life -- Tennessee Titans passer Marcus Mariota. Let's look at some […]

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook was targeted a team-high 10 times in Sunday's loss to the Colts, finishing with 30 yards on five catches. Westbrook continues to see a lot of quarterback Blake Bortles' targets, but he's also failed to reach the 50-yard mark in four straight games and looks to be a touchdown-dependent […]

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end James O'Shaughnessy returned after missing Jacksonville's past two games and caught five passes in Sunday's Week 10 loss to the Colts. He finished with 46 yards and was targeted six times. It was O'Shaughnessy's most productive game of the season, though it would take another similar follow-up for fantasy owners to […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoDonte Moncrief Catches 80-Yard Touchdown
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Donte Moncrief got a chance to go against his former team, the Indianapolis Colts, on Sunday, and while the Jaguars didn't manage to take them down, Moncrief did get a huge highlight play, catching an 80-yard touchdown as part of a three-catch, 98-yard performance. Moncrief has targeted just four times, though, […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoT.J. Yeldon Still Used In Receiving Game Against Colts
Despite the return of Leonard Fournette cutting into his carries, Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon maintained some value in Week 10 thanks to his receiving ability. Yeldon caught five passes for 51 yards in Sunday's loss and added 12 rushing yards on three carries. While Yeldon's value in standard leagues is virtually nonexistent with […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoCarlos Hyde A Non-Factor Against Colts
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde barely saw the field on Sunday against the Colts, ending the day with five rushing yards on three carries. With Leonard Fournette (hamstring) back in the lineup, Hyde isn't a fantasy relevant option moving forward unless Fournette misses more time, and even then he faces an uphill battle behind […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoLeonard Fournette Looks Great In Return
It's been a rough year for Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette, who has dealt with hamstring issues off and on and played in just two games before Jacksonville's bye week. But Fournette was back on the field against the Colts in Week 10, and it was like he'd never been gone at all. The second-year […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoBlake Bortles Tosses Two Touchdowns Against Colts
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles threw for 320 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He completed 26 of his 38 passing attempts and didn't turn the ball over. The embattled quarterback also added eight yards on the ground. It's been an up and down year for Bortles, who […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoChris Carson Out Against Rams
Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (hip) won't play against the Rams. Expect Mike Davis to see the bulk of the carries against a Rams defense that has allowed four rushing touchdowns to running backs over the past two games. Consider Davis a strong RB2/flex option this week.
Justin Carter 6 years agoQuinn Cook Comes Up Big For Warriors
Golden State Warriors point guard Quinn Cook started on Saturday against the Nets with Stephen Curry out, and Cook was big for the Warriors. He scored 27 points on 11-for-16 shooting and added five assists and three rebounds. With Curry expected to miss a little time, Cook can be a good streaming option in a […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoJoe Harris Scores 24 Points Against Warriors
Brooklyn Nets guard Joe Harris scored 24 points on 9-for-12 shooting in Saturday's loss to the Golden State Warriors. He was 4-for-6 from three and added two assists, a rebound, and a steal. Harris has had a strong impact as a shooter for the Nets this year and should be a safe play on Monday […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoGerald Green, Carmelo Anthony Out On Sunday
Houston Rockets guard Gerald Green (ankle) and forward Carmelo Anthony (illness) will both miss Sunday's meeting with the Indiana Pacers. Expect an uptick in minutes and usage for Gary Clark off the Rockets bench, who could be a DFS sleeper in this contest with Houston thin on the bench.
Justin Carter 6 years agoManti Te'o A Surprise Inactive In Week 10
New Orleans Saints linebacker Manti Te'o won't play in Week 10. Despite not appearing on the injury list all week, the Saints will be without their starting linebacker for a meeting with a good Bengals offense. This should be good for Cincinnati, especially running back Joe Mixon, who will have more space to work with […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoJamison Crowder, Chris Thompson Inactive In Week 10
The Washington Redskins will be without running back Chris Thompson and wide receiver Jamison Crowder for Sunday's meeting with Tampa Bay. In the running game, expect to see heavy doses of Adrian Peterson with some Kapri Bibbs mixed in, while the Redskins passing game should rely more on tight ends Jordan Reed and Vernon Davis […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoKevin White A Healthy Inactive For Week 10
Chicago Bears wide receiver Kevin White has been made a healthy scratch for Week 10's meeting with the Detroit Lions. The Bears have found some good pieces at wide receiver this season, and the former first-round pick hasn't been able to carve out time in the rotation. He's still worth a roster spot in deep […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoRobby Anderson Inactive In Week 10
New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) won't play in Week 10 against the Bills. New York will use Quincy Enunwa and Jermaine Kearse more in the passing game, but a difficult matchup with a strong Bills passing defense makes it tough to trust either guy as more than a deep league flex option.
Justin Carter 6 years agoRob Gronkowski Inactive In Week 10
New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowksi (ankle, back) will not play in Week 10 against the Tennessee Titans. With Gronkowksi out, expect to see the Patriots use wide receivers Josh Gordon and Julian Edelman and running back James White more in the passing game. All three should see a slight fantasy bump.
Justin Carter 6 years agoChris Carson Not Expected To Play Week 10
Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (groin) is a game-time decision for Seattle's Week 10 meeting with the Rams, but the expectation is that Carson will not play. Mike Davis will lead the backfield with Carson out and with how much the Seahawks are running the ball this year, Davis is a solid flex option […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoRonald Jones II Out Again In Week 10
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II (hamstring) will miss Sunday's meeting against the Washington Redskins. The rookie spent the early part of the year as a healthy inactive and now is dealing with this hamstring issue, which has made his rookie season into a tough one for Tampa Bay. Expect Peyton Barber to […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoJosh Allen Expected To Return After Bye Week
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) will miss Week 10's meeting with the Jets, but is expected to return in Week 12 following the team's bye week. While the rookie has struggled at times, he's been the Bills best quarterback, and the only one worth fantasy consideration in deeper or two-quarterback leagues. Matt Barkley will […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoKhalil Mack Should Play Against Lions
Chicago Bears defensive lineman Khalil Mack (ankle) should return in Week 10 after missing the past two games. Mack's presence on the court puts a hurting on the fantasy chances of the Detroit Lions, especially when Matthew Stafford was sacked 10 times in Week 9. Expect the Bears to get after Stafford early and to […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoKerryon Johnson Expected To Play Against Bears
Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson (ankle) is expected to play on Sunday against the Bears. The Bears boast a strong defense and Johnson is still sharing backfield touches with LeGarrette Blount, but Johnson can be a solid flex option barring any pre-game setbacks.
Justin Carter 6 years agoSaints Could Bring Dez Bryant Back In 2019
The New Orleans Saints could bring wide receiver Dez Bryant (Achilles) back in 2019, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. With a recovery window between six and eight months, Bryant won't be healthy by the time free agency rolls around, but the Saints liked what they saw in his try out and would be willing to […]
